Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 180 I want this panda!

Feng Polu didn't react immediately and looked at Qian Tao in confusion.

"What about the eldest princess?"

Qian Tao took a deep breath and asked directly, "What do you think of the Eldest Princess as the Crown Prince?"

Feng Polu stared wide-eyed at Qian Tao, his face filled with shock.

"Are you crazy? The Princess is a woman! How can a woman be the crown prince? Among the military generals, you are the leader. Don't be foolish."

Qian Tao remained calm and looked in the direction of the Eldest Princess, saying, "Old Feng, to be honest, how do the Crown Prince and the Third Prince compare to the Eldest Princess?"

This question stumped Feng Polu, who lowered his head with a solemn expression.

"Look, even you are hesitating."

Qian Tao continued, "Let's not talk about the Third Prince. He's all bark and no bite, a born playboy, and not fit for any important task."

"The Crown Prince is the heir apparent, and has received meticulous instruction from renowned teachers and scholars for many years, but what has become of him?"

"A goddess of unknown origin could drive the Crown Prince to madness and even force his concubine, Lady Li, to her death."

Feng Polu pondered carefully, remaining silent.

Qian Tao added, "Perhaps you think that what I just said has nothing to do with you, then let's look at the present."

Feng Polu looked up, somewhat confused: "What do you mean, 'before my eyes'?"

“It’s this beast tide right in front of us,” Qian Tao said, his gaze shifting from where the princess was to the edge of the distant forest. “The princess and General Zhou just came from outside the forest.”

"The beast tide is so loud that most people would have run far away long ago, but the princess went against the current to search for us. Now look, where is the crown prince?"

"The eldest princess has the demeanor of a military commander! I have only seen this composure and magnanimity in one other person."

Feng Polu knew that Qian Tao was referring to the Blue-Faced War God.

He said with a hint of helplessness, "Old Qian, look at you again? The Princess is a woman, why do you keep linking her with the Blue-Faced War God!"

Qian Tao shook his head and said, "It's not that I always associate the Blue-Faced War God with the Princess, but the two of them give me too similar feelings, regardless of gender."

"Old Feng, tell me honestly, when you see the valiant princess drawing her heavy bow to kill the ferocious beasts, and when you see her calmly directing us to avoid the beast tide, don't you sometimes feel a little dazed?"

Feng Polu fell silent; he couldn't lie.

He was indeed in a daze!

In fact, in his eyes, the shadows of the Eldest Princess and the Blue-Faced War God sometimes overlapped.

“But…” Feng Polu hesitated, “But in all dynasties, there has never been a crown princess. Is our Great Zhou going to set a precedent?”

Qian Tao replied, "What's wrong with being a pioneer?"

The two looked at each other as they spoke, both feeling somewhat sentimental.

In just a few days, the princess's status in their hearts underwent a dramatic change.

Isn't this a unique charm possessed by those who achieve great things?

"Old Feng, we've been through thick and thin together, we know each other very well, so I'm only now discussing this matter of the crown prince with you."

"However, as long as the Crown Prince is not deposed, the matter of who will be the heir apparent is none of our business."

Feng Polu naturally knew: "Don't worry, it's just the two of us chatting. No one else will know."

As the two were discussing the matter, the beast tide seemed to have completely subsided.

Sun Cheng, who was the first to climb the tree, even jumped down from it and walked to the tree where the princess was.

"Princess! The beasts have retreated!"

Upon hearing this, the princess breathed a sigh of relief and was about to jump down from the tree when she heard a military officer shouting loudly not far away.

"Princess, something terrible has happened! The beast tide is heading towards the capital!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei was startled and immediately began climbing to the top of the tree using both her hands and feet.

When she climbed to the top of the tree and looked towards the capital, she saw snow churning on the ground in the distance, just like the commotion caused when the beasts had chased them.

"These beasts, how dare they attack a town?" someone exclaimed.

Zhou Wei climbed down from the treetop and said worriedly, "Princess, if the beast tide reaches the villages and towns around the capital, countless people will be harmed!"

The princess was also helpless; they had already abandoned their horses, and it was too late to catch up with the beast tide.

"Weiwei, do you think the Five Cities Garrison Command can be relied upon?"

Zhou Wei immediately shook her head: "Rely on these insects? Didn't Princess hear what Jiang Zao said? They don't even care about the refugees causing trouble. When faced with a beast tide, they can only run for their own lives."

The two thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a better solution.

Just as Zhou Wei was planning to quickly return to the capital to make further plans, another unexpected event occurred!

A tremor even more violent than the second wave came from the distant highlands.

The generals' faces turned pale; they exchanged glances, their expressions filled with despair.

Again?

"Why is this beast tide never ending? Just how many wild animals are there in these mountains?"

Zhou Wei also felt this was too incongruous; this was a mountain forest near the capital, yet three waves of beasts could form here.

Those who didn't know better would think she had come to the prehistoric world, not the world of advanced martial arts!

"I believe this strange beast tide may be related to the recent blizzard in the capital."

Zhou Wei was taken aback when she heard this. Wasn't this beast tide related to that strange fragrance?

The unusual fragrance may have come from the actions of the prince and his associates.

The eldest princess knew what Zhou Wei was thinking and explained, "What I mean is that the strange fragrance is just the trigger. The fact that three waves of beast tides could form in the mountains and forests near the capital seems to be related to the strange phenomenon of continuous blizzards."

Zhou Wei understood!

The snow disaster, coupled with the current beast tide, truly gives one the feeling that the world is about to descend into chaos.

The third wave of beasts arrived extremely quickly, and the ground tremors even caused the giant tree where everyone was standing to shake.

The eldest princess warned, "Generals, be on alert! This wave of beasts seems to be more than it appears!"

Zhou Wei was also on high alert; the commotion was just too much like the arrival of a BOSS.

"Princess, could it be that the great demon is about to appear?"

As soon as Zhou Wei finished speaking, everyone heard a loud "thump thump thump" sound!

The sound seemed to pound on everyone's hearts, sending chills down their spines.

Zhou Wei squinted and looked in the direction from which the sound came, and suddenly saw a black and white shadow.

babble?

That shadow looks so familiar!

Zhou Wei's heart skipped a beat, and upon closer inspection, she witnessed a scene that shocked her.

A gigantic panda ran at the forefront of the beast tide, like a fierce general leading the charge.

The distinct black and white fur trembled in the wind, forming a beautiful yin-yang pattern!

The panda's eyes are bright and gleaming with wisdom and intelligence.

Despite their enormous size, they are incredibly agile when running!

The thunderous sound of its four legs stomping on the ground made the entire earth tremble!

This panda, with its muscles taut, was able to leap high into the air from flat ground, jumping several meters away.

Its massive body landed with remarkable lightness, like a falling leaf!

Any obstacle that dared to stand in its way was slapped away by it.

The huge trees were snapped in half, and even the ferocious beasts that jumped in front of it were mercilessly smashed into mincemeat with a single swipe!

The sight of such a ferocious beast left the military officers speechless with astonishment.

The princess exclaimed in shock, "Heavens! What kind of monster is this? It's so terrifying!"

"I have never seen such a ferocious beast before. It is black and white, and resembles both a bear and a cat?"

Zhou Wei's face broke into an excited smile.

"A monster? Princess, this is not a monster, it's an auspicious omen!"

As Zhou Wei spoke, she squatted down on the tree branch, assuming a jumping posture.

This action startled the princess.

"Weiwei, what are you doing?"

"I want—this panda!"

When Zhou Wei said this, she could hardly contain her excitement!
